Joe introduced Casey Michaelis Project Director for
Kitchell.

David Cartnal, FAIA Principal Planner with BFGC,
provided background information on BFGC. Mr.
Cartnal reviewed the guidelines and process for
bond program planning and expenditures.

Contingencies are built in to the budget,
monitored and adjusted accordingly. Joe noted
that every invoice received by the District
requires a signature from Kitchell, the President
and Vice President of Administrative Services.
All items go before the Board for approval.

Kitchell and BFGC have worked together for 10
years. Casey reviewed the draft planning schedule.
Steve noted that the Board approves the capital
outlay plan, submitted to the state for additional
funding, based on factual approval starting with
state chancellor's office, needs to approve before
department of finance, reviewed example of business
building budget spreadsheet, have program
contingencies set up to augment a bid that comes
in over budget or redesign project to fit
budget.

Joe reviewed the items that were approved by the
Board of Trustees. The first project of the
Measure E bond fund is the renovation of the
tennis courts, approved by the Board of Trustees
on March 8. The cost of the project is estimated
to be $120,000 and the expenditure for this
purpose is consistent with the repair and
upgrade of instructional facilities and sites.
A Contract Agreement for Management Information
Services (MIS) Programming Services was approved
by the Board of Trustees on March 8. With the
passage of Measure E, a number of additional
projects have been added to the MIS program in
order to fulfill the Measure E bond language,
including instructional technological
infrastructure, replacement of the obsolete
computer system with an integrated student
registration, class scheduling, and accounting
system. Syllogize, Inc. will provide
programming services for an amount not to exceed
$235,000. A college Task Force is working with
the BFGC consultants to solicit input for
minimum standards in the classroom and we hope
to have this done in 2-3 months. This will be
presented to staff, the Board of Trustees and
the Citizens' Oversight Committee.
